In a controversial move, President Trump quietly fired the watchdog overseeing corruption in the government agency USAID. The watchdog, who served as the inspector general, was abruptly removed from his position by the president without providing any clear justification.

This latest firing adds to the growing list of watchdogs and inspectors general that President Trump has fired during his time in office, raising concerns about accountability and transparency in the government. Critics argue that these firings are undermining the oversight mechanisms designed to prevent corruption and ensure accountability within federal agencies.

The USAID inspector general was reportedly investigating allegations of mismanagement and misconduct within the agency, leading to speculation that his removal was an attempt to halt or obstruct the ongoing investigations. The decision to fire the watchdog has sparked outrage and calls for an independent investigation into the motives behind the dismissal.

Despite the controversy surrounding this latest firing, President Trump has not commented on the decision and his administration has remained tight-lipped about the reasons behind the abrupt dismissal.
